My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Winning Season (2009)

The Bad News Bears of high-school girls basketball with Sam Rockwell as the Walter Matthau role, playing a coach at the lowest point of his life.  Divorced, borderline alcoholic and trying to reconnect with his daughter, he gets a job to coach a girl baseball team.  It's not so much about baseball like Hoosiers and more about a man trying to pick up the pieces of his life with the help of the very girls he at first shuns.  Many funny moments driven by Rockwell's frantic energy.  Grade: B+.
